I really enjoy quinoa! For some reason I never really liked rice but quinoa really stuck with me. Maybe it was the nutty flavor? I love all the great roasted veggies in this dish. Quinoa is quite a little powerhouse!

Oh wow, that first photo I just kept staring at! So vibrant and clear and makes you want to just jump into the screen 🙂 I love that you added tomato paste to your quinoa, I do that fairly often with rice for the same reason, a flavor boost and gorgeous color. And then you combined my 2 favorite veggies ever with it…bell peppers and zucchini! So funny, when I used to eat quinoa allll the time, I always added roasted zucchini to it, so this brings back memories. I’m totally in love with that cashew tzatziki too, wow, another sauce of yours I want to try! I already printed out the sauce from yesterday (the peanut/bbq-ish sauce) and can’t wait to try that! You really are so creative!

Yeah Brandi, that’s exactly how I got the idea for the tomato paste: from rice. It just occurred to me that I didn’t use much rice lately, probably because of quinoa 😉 And big, big thanks for your amazing comments. I do like to play around with my sauce creations and it feels good to hear/read that they get such attention!

This looks awesome! This is exactly how I like to eat quinoa: topped with a bunch of veggies and a finger licking sauce. I’ve never added tomato paste to my quinoa before – sounds great and can’t wait to try it!
